She’s a shoo-in for the director’s job when her boss retires at the end of the year…until hotshot Josh Vaughn shows up to challenge her for the position. Josh is all sophisticated polish while Sadie’s country comfort, and the two have very different ideas of what makes a good campaign.

Where the Wild Things Bite

Delivering a rare book to a valued customer is definitely part of mild-mannered archivist Anna Whitfield's job description. You know what isn't?

But then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and only Iris can help.

Publisher's Summary

Lacey Terwilligers shock and humiliation over her husband’s philandering prompt her to add some bonus material to Mike's company newsletter: stunning Technicolor descriptions of the special brand of "administrative support" his receptionist gives him. The detailed mass email to Mike's family, friends, and clients blows up in her face, and before one can say "instant urban legend", Lacey has become the pariah of her small Kentucky town, a media punch line, and the defendant in Mike's defamation lawsuit.

Her seemingly perfect life up in flames, Lacey retreats to her family’s lakeside cabin, only to encounter an aggravating neighbour named Monroe. A hunky crime novelist with a low tolerance for drama, Monroe is not thrilled about a newly divorced woman moving in next door. But with time, beer, and a screen door to the nose, a cautious friendship develops into something infinitely more satisfying.

Lacey has to make a decision about her long-term living arrangements, though. Should she take a job writing caustic divorce newsletters for paying clients, or move on with her own life, pursuing more literary aspirations? Can she find happiness with a man who tells her what he thinks and not what she wants to hear? And will she ever be able to resist saying one…last…thing?

I have read and loved all of Molly's books. It took me a while to read this one as it it did not fall into the paranormal fantasy genre, but so pleased i did eventually and sooo pleased.

When I fould them on Audio books I could not believe they could be improved, but the have been by Amanda Ronconi. It is as if she is really living the story they way she puts a whole new dimension to the script. I will be checking out all her other narrations now

I really enjoyed this book, it was a great little story and had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. Its not deep and meaningful, but its super light-entertainment and some of the insults (spineless, dickless etc.) will amuse me for weeks to come.

If you're a fan of Molly Harper you will love this new one. Has all the expected biting wit and laugh-out-loud humor, combined with with serious themes about second chances and starting over. I think I used to be married to Mike!! Perfectly voiced by Amanda Ronconi - this pair is the ideal combination. Ronconi's voice brings Harper's characters to life and when I actually read the books, I hear them in that voice now. This is not intended to be taken too seriously, but if you want a fun listen, you wont be wasting your time. Great fun!

Molly Harper always makes me laugh and this book was no different. A story filled with laugh out loud situations, an unforgettably feisty heroine and her signature sarcastic dialogue the book begs to be read by every woman who has ever considered revenge on the male gender. I enjoyed both story and narration. For me the partnership of Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi is a sure thing!

I love Molly Harper who always makes me laugh. Truly she has a real sense of humor in her writing which is rare these days. Enough romance to make everyone happy but with quality writing rather than just the 'kissy bits'. My only complaint ...I think her husband deserved it & I hate the 'fall out' from friends & family.

"Stand alone novel with a light touch"

A stand alone novel about Lacey and her family and the aftermath of finding out about her husband's affair. Overall, the book was narrated well, although there was little distinction between the men's voices in that they mostly sounded the same. That apart, I enjoyed the story and enjoyed Lacey's fight back after the shock of being cheated on. The story was well paced and built to a satisfactory ending. There was no huge surprises, but I wasn't looking for one, just a good tale. I'll be reading other books by Molly Harper in the future. Oh, and can I read the novel Lacey started writing please?!

"A perfect blend"

Which character – as performed by Amanda Ronconi – was your favourite?

Lacey, but they are all done well with varied voices.

Any additional comments?

I listened to this book via the audio version because I’ve come to love Amanda Ronconi’s voice, and between her and molly Harper’s humour I am guaranteed a good read every time. This book was the perfect mixture of romance, conflict, sex, and humour that I usually expect from this author. I loved the characters, even the cheating Mike had a well-defined, three-dimensional persona, making it such a good, easy read. Lacey was the sort of protagonist you can love easily, with her self-deprecating manner and clumsy, bad decisions. Monroe was a nice character, maybe not as strong as he could be, but when the author delivers a hot, Wolverine-like man, who are we to bitch?

"Nice little story"

I found this a nice little story, not too challenging or thought-provoking, it was quite predictable but entertaining for all that. It's not the kind of book that makes you want to listen again or even think about it again once it's over but it was enjoyable enough and non-threatening. The American voice was pleasant to listen to and the writing was interesting without being gripping.

"Why didn't I think of that ......"

If you could sum up And One Last Thing in three words, what would they be?

Funny, saucy,way-to-go

Who was your favorite character and why?

I shall look out for more Molly Harper novels in the future - Definately my sense of humour

What does Amanda Ronconi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Not sure this heading is the right one for this book but presuming it is then I would have to say that the 'information was presented in a way that was interesting and insightful' and very funny.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Nothing

Any additional comments?

I laughed out loud in so many places. There were a few times that I really felt for Lacey but mostly I enjoyed her feisty style and determination (Yes, I know it's not real!!).
